Set Builder
Rule Method
Sets are built by describing the essential
characteristics of elements that make up
the set.
Rule vs Roster Method

Examples
Empty Set
Cardinality of a Set
One-to-one-correspondence
Equivalent sets
 Two sets A and B are equivalent if there is
a one-to-one correspondence between
the sets
 The have the same number of elements:
n(A) = n(B)
Equal Sets
 Two sets A and B are equal if they have
identical (the same elements)
 Equal sets are also equivalent sets
Finite vs Infinite sets
Joint vs Disjoint sets
 Two set A and B are joint sets if they have
elements in common
 Two sets A and B are disjoint sets if they
have no common elements
A = { 2, 4, 6, 8}
B = {1, 2, 3, 5, 8}
C = { 7, 9, 10}
